Description

Our classic collar is based on that worn by Sean Connery in the early James Bond films - same spread, same collar point depth, same collar height - all passed on to us by a master shirt maker who was there when Sean Connery was being fitted. It's great with a tie or worn open, casually.

Terence Young, the director of the early Bond films, was probably the closest to a real life James Bond as one could get, having read oriental history at Cambridge and being an officer in the Irish Guards; and once cast, he took Sean Connery under his wing. He took him to dinner, showed him how to walk, how to talk and, most importantly, he introduced him to his tailor and shirt maker, where this collar was developed.
